The Department of Neurobiology & Biophysics recruits students through interdisciplinary programs at the University of Washington. Prospective students with an interest in Neurobiology & Biophysics are encouraged to apply to one of the several interdisciplinary Ph.D. programs, in which our faculty are active participants. Our faculty welcome rotations from first year students and several students from these programs join NBIO labs each year to pursue their graduate research.
